Baby Animal Days 2011

I always love the baby animal celebration in the spring. For the past 2 weeks, various school groups have been coming to the farm for a more personal look at some baby farm animals. The weather was pretty miserable, but we got the job done.









On the weekend, members of the public are also invited to pet the baby animals. It is even more fun to see the animals with a couple of grandchildren. Before seeing the animals though, we checked to see what was new at the woodwright shop. Can you believe it? There was even a pony to ride in the shop!





The children's area has lots of kid-friendly tools to work with now.



And bigger kids, with the help of the woodwrights, can practice using old-fashioned planes.



I am not sure what the interest is, but everyday, numerous folks want to get their pictures taken in this very spot...so one of the woodwrights finally brought in some fake lilies to enhance the pictures.



The lambs felt like warm, fuzzy blankets.

How many kids can you see in this picture?



This little calf loved Garrett soooooo much, that it wanted to suck on his finger.



Who can resist the baby ducks?



OK...horses are WAY bigger than ponies!










For the last day of Baby Animal Days, the weather was great and so was the company.
